Abby is home!

After I sent my last blog, Abby continued to feel crummy. But after she got some pain medication she was able to sleep a bit. Her doctor came in and adjusted her shunt as well which helped. Without getting into it too much, let me just say that the shunt wasn't draining the fluid out of her head fast enough because the setting was set too low. If the fluid can't escape Abby's brain, it will get backed up and put pressure on her head which can also cause nausea and vomiting. So by changing the setting on the shunt, the fluid was able to drain out quicker.
Later on, Abby was still fussy but she was tolerating her feeding better so her doctor said she could come home. Thank Goodness too because momma was tired. She had been up all night after waking up at 4:30AM from a night of horrible sleep and had been taking care of Abby every single minute. Now that we're home, Abby is still quite a handful and very uncomfortable but she is slowly getting better.

I have some pics of this whole thing and I'll post them tomorrow.

Thanks everybody for your kind words, thoughts and prayers.

Love,

The Abby Management Group
